Wonderful for breakfast

I have not had dinner here but breakfasts are fabulous, whether you get the corn waffles, egg platters, oatmeal, or anything else.

Quaint little spot with one drawback

by Rcalithia at Citysearch

My husband and I were visiting some friends this weekend in Edmonds and we all decided to stop at Chanterelle. It's a very charming, old style building that was very inviting and friendly and after a day of non-stop shopping we were all famished! The atmosphere was great and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. Our lunches were very tasty and the coffee was rich and delicious and it was a great way to cap off a perfect day. However, as we were finishing our meals, something happened that left a very sour taste in all our mouths. A very loud and inappropriate vulgar statement came from the kitchen. I won't repeat what was said only that it was laced with the F-word and offensive to those with alternative lifestyles which includes our dear friends. Several others around us also heard this as we looked at one another with what can only be describe as shock. We paid our bill and left. I certainly hope the owners of this fine establishment reads this review and takes some sort of action to prevent this from happening again. They have such a diamond in the rough and it would be a shame to have such a smear preventing it from being the success that it could be. I would recommend Chanterelle to everyone, but ask for a seat away from the mouth in the kitchen.

• Pros: Charming building w/ a great staff
• Cons: One very loud mouth

Best breakfast in Edmonds, Mixed for Dinner

by Shoober at Citysearch

We've had breakfast at Chantrelle's several times and every time it is outstanding. The food is delicious, good coffee and good service. We decided to try them for dinner for New Year's Eve. The service was excellent, but we ordered an appetizer that was way too salty. Our entrees both came with what the menu said was risotto. Instead of risotto, it was rice pilaf with succotash vegetables. I would expect this side dish from Denny's. However, our entrees themselves were fantastic. My husband had the scallops and I had the chicken in pastry. Both dishes were perfection. My chicken in pastry was something I would imagine a world class chef would make. Overall, I would recommend Chantrelle's, just skip the risotto.

• Pros: breakfast, coffee, service, prices
• Cons: Risotto

Best Downtown Edmonds Eating

by las11 at Citysearch

Chanterelle in Edmonds is a MUST place to dine when in Edmonds. With it?s warm yellow and woodsy interior in one of Edmonds historic buildings, it is updated, hip, and almost funky with an espresso bar, large dessert showcase and a wall of wines. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Favorites are their large salad entrees, the (best) fish tacos, and the cioppino ? a real treat on a cold wet day.

On my last visit I had the chicken panini with brie and chutney - an excellent choice. It was accompanied by either soup or one of four salads. I chose the spinach salad with mushrooms, asiago cheese and almonds, dressed in a light, fragrant dressing. My companion had the chicken quesadilla and raved about it. Although we had no room for dessert, the selection was tempting and is something to look forward to on our next visit.

Anyone looking for great food, a varied menu, good taste and price should make Chanterelle a regular dining spot. If you are lucky to get a table by the front window, you have a view of the water and you are always right in the heart of downtown Edmonds. So, walking around before or after your meal makes for a perfect day. Bon Appetit!

• Pros: Great Food
• Cons: Parking
